Fenix TK11 Q5 LED Flashlight Black Aluminum Body Review

My short answer is if you don't have a need to use the 18650 battery, then get the TK10.

I just bought three Fenix flashlights, including a TK11, and it is the one I regret.It was meant to replace my 1998 Surefire 6P with Cree drop-in.I narrowed my choices down to the TK10 and TK11 and so I asked someone "which I should get between the two."He suggested I get the TK11 since it could take the 18650 battery.Okay, so that's what I did.

When I got it in my hands and had some time to play with it, I realized all the things I didn't like about it, the TK10 didn't have.First off, I don't really care for the ring used for the cigar hold and it catches on things, although I am getting used to it.I know it just comes off, but unlike the TK10, there is no replacement band to prevent damage to the treads or getting crud on the O-ring.Perhaps not a big deal, but I intend to use it in the field alot and it is subject to drops in the wilderness.

Next, I think I am disappointed in the beam artifacts.I am not such a picky dude, but it does not seem as nice as my Cree drop-in for the 6p.Okay, again not a big deal.The TK10 is said to have a different reflector which has a nicer beam.I'll have to perhaps just let that one go.

Then, there is the cooling fins.Like the ring, they catch on stuff like the case and I bet if I drop it in the mud, it's gonna be hard to clean, most irritating.And they look ugly to me.The TK10 does not have them.

I did not think getting a supply of 18650 batteries would be so difficult here since several of my co-workers have them, but when I try, it's really a pain in the butt.As it turns out, [...], which I don't plan to do, so the 18650 feature is not so beneficial to me.

Oh, and at the time I bought the TK11, the TK10 was nine dollars less.

Overall, the TK11 is a solid and good flashlight, I just wish I had bought the TK10 instead.

Fenix TK11R2 2 Level High Performance Cree LED Flashlight, Black, 6- Inch Review

I purchased this light around 6 months ago. I also purchased two 18650 rechargable 3.7 volt Li-ion protected batteries. I have only had to recharge the batteries once since the initial charge in this timeframe. I work nights as a police officer and use this light all of the time around half of an hour several days a week. I also own a Novatac 120T, Blackhawk Gladius and Surefire 6p as well as many other lights. This has been the most battery efficient tactical light I have ever owned, as all the others eat the CR 123 batteries like candy.

The beam is a combination of flood light and spot. It works excellent for searching having a combination of both beams. I highly recommend this light as it costs much less and outperforms any of my other lights. The light appears to be well made and feels very sturdy in your hand.

Product Description:
The TK11 uses two CR123A batteries or one 17350 and maintains excellent constant brightness with two output modes: General mode, which can last for a whole night and can be used for general illumination, and Turbo mode, which can be used whenever high-powered light is needed - search and rescue, long-range target identification, etc. This flashlight is great for camping trips or other outdoor adventures that may last into the night. The TK 11 offers rugged features like a premium hard-anodized anti-abrasive finish, toughened ultra-clear glass lens with anti-reflective coating and tactical tail cap switch with momentary-on function. Included with the flashlight are a holster, lanyard, two spare o-rings, spare rubber switch boot, allen wrench, two spare screws, and copper spacer ring.
